E-learning: Hip Hop Dance Moves for Kids, part I

For cool kidz, cool online sessions of Hip Hop dance moves… online classes by Keith Fitzpatrick aka Kfitz are a little bit shorter in its length than you are used to see here… and it gives you more fragmented and detailed approach to a particular movement, what makes it a pretty cool additional material for teachers…

For Kfitz’s dance style people say that has an urban edge and a lyrical twist. He has choreographed for the Dove Awards and the CMT awards, and has also been featured in TV spots for Toyota, WSIX, etc.
